If you’re looking to take in Shadow of Mordor on a last gen console then we’re afraid there’s a bit of bad news.
The Xbox 360 (and indeed PS3) versions of the game have been delayed until November 18th in NA and November 21st in the UK. This is to allow extra time for development.
The next gen release date stays the same at Sept 30th and Oct 3rd for NA and the UK respectively.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will deliver a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron’s return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player’s actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion’s personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.
